Learn by doing to get the most from this upholstery course: participate, complete each chair, follow every step, and ask questions in the q&a.
Learn tools you need to gather, follow a checklist to complete course, and explore choosing a chair that will work or multiple chairs, plus dining chair fabric type and quantity.
Examine the chair’s wooden bones, then choose restoration paths—from leaving the finish intact to repairing scratches, applying gel or spray stains, and finishing with primer and chalk paint.
Finish assembling the chair by layering foam and batting, lining up the fabric pattern, and tautly stapling the seat before attaching the wooden base and securing screws.
Learn to spruce up the chair bones by cleaning with rag and toothbrush, light sanding, a two-tone paint with the cane back taped off, then a wax buff finish.
Attach foam to the seat base with spray glue, cut with an electric knife; then staple batting and fabric, add welting, and finish with decorative trim.
Celebrate completing a second chair as you sharpen upholstery skills, try pipes, sewing, and chalk painting, and choose a chair back option for a stronger finish.
Assess the chair after disassembly to identify needed parts and measure foam, webbing, and dacron, then assemble a precise shopping list.
Clean and assess the chair legs, fill scratches with a color-matched finish, then apply gel stain in coats, letting the first coat dry for 24 hours before applying the second.
Prepare fabric and pattern layout by aligning grain, nap, and center lines; cut cushions, bands, and strips, then sew piping or cording for a uniform, well-fitted chair.
Apply fiber filler batting and a band, then staple to secure a crisp edge with a cardboard pull strip. Finish with dacron and careful tacking.
